Nasa's Kepler spacecraft that hunts for Earth-like planets orbiting other stars has gone into emergency mode some 75 million miles from Earth, the US space agency said. This was found during a scheduled contact on April 7.
Starting August 7, leading Isro scientists will converge for two days to share their expertise on construction technology with engineering students, professional engineers, scientists, academicians, contractors and other participants from the constru
World space history took a giant leap on Tuesday when Nasa's piano-sized New Horizons spacecraft, with a suite of seven instruments, became the first mission globally to make the closest approach to the dwarf planet Pluto.
NASA scientists have designed the concept of a spacecraft that would hitch rides on comets and asteroids by spearing them with tethers.
Nasa's Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) spacecraft has confirmed for the first time the existence of neon gas in moon's atmosphere.
Nasa's New Horizons spacecraft performs a close flyby of Pluto, becoming the first spacecraft in history to visit the distant world. Pluto, a dwarf planet, is some 4.8 billion kilometers from Earth. New Horizons flew 12,500km from Pluto's surface col
Indian space scientists have successfully reignited the main engine of Mars Orbiter Mission for a four-second test. The engine will fire again for 24 a minutes to put the spacecraft in Mars orbit early on September 24.
